Organisers should take Pride in how parade’s focus has changed
Belfast Pride was back with a bang at the weekend, with the first carnival parade since Covid restrictions were lifted. With a new team helping organise the parade it was more vibrant and colourful than ever.
The first Belfast Pride started with only around 100 people. In June 1991 it was a political demonstration for those who were being denied equality and rights in line with their fellow citizens.
